FAMILY

Simply, a family is a group consisting of two parents (Husband and wife) and their children living together as a unit of household or more. We could also refer to it as a descendant of a common ancestor.
“But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God”

How to balance my relationship with my extended family. First of all, understand that you are now building your home family (immediate family). You are no longer under the direct control of your parents, but for the fact that they are your parents, (they are not going to get away from you) they own you to their heart. As a result of that family union, most parents who care enough have the instinct of caring for their children regardless of age.

Generally, parents think that their children don’t have adequate knowledge and wisdom or are too young to handle life issues.These are some of the reasons most parents are going to be interested in your activities and what goes on in your home. The Greatest Man says “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right”. –Honour your father and mother”–which is the first commandment with a promise — “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth”. As a child to your parents, you need not neglect our family love and values. Let it be paramount to keep and maintaining your relationship with extended family with standard boundaries.
